The Isle of Mull
The Isle of Mull is one of the most attractive unspoilt Hebridean islands on the West Coast of Scotland. Ferries to Mull and the other Hebridean islands leave daily from Oban harbour, within convenient walking distance from the Manor House Hotel..
Largely dependent on the traditional industries of agriculture, fishing and forestry, The Isle of Mull welcomes visitors to discover its rich tapestries of flora and fauna. Although the Island is only 30 miles long, it has over 300 miles of dramatic coastline, sandy beaches and forestry, and nine mountains over 2,000 feet in height as well as Ben More, which at 3,169 feet is the second highest mountain in the Hebrides. A walk to the summit, from where the above photograph was taken, takes about two hours
It is largely because of its unspoilt nature that the Isle of Mull has such a wide variety of wildlife. From whales, porpoises, otters and seals that swim up the tidal sea lochs to golden eagles, puffins and even the occasional wildcat, there is much for the nature-lover to discover
